activism in literature

Activism in literature refers to the use of written works—such as novels, essays, poems, and plays—as tools to promote social, political, or environmental change. Writers incorporate their ideas and beliefs into their texts to raise awareness, challenge injustices, or inspire action among readers. This approach aims to not only reflect societal issues but also to motivate audiences to think critically and potentially influence positive change through their engagement with the literature.
